Gordon completed five innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

Gordon was cruising until the fifth inning, when back-to-back Orioles doubles resulted in a run. The right-hander quickly rebounded, retiring the next three batters to keep the score tied 1-1. However, a lengthy rain delay before the sixth frame ended Gordon's outing at just 60 pitches (40 strikes). Though that brought an end to his bid for a second straight quality start, Gordon still posted a strong performance, and he ended an up-and-down August by allowing just two runs over 12 innings across his final two starts. He'll look to build on that momentum the next time he takes the mound, which is on track to be a home matchup against St. Louis.

Machado went 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Machado doubled in his first plate appearance before adding singles in three of his next four trips to the plate, giving him a season-high four hits. The double also snapped a 10-game stretch without an extra-base hit, during which Machado batted just .184. Despite Monday's performance, the veteran third baseman is having a down year overall, batting .220 with a .712 OPS across 135 games.

Singer (5-13) took the loss Monday against the Padres, allowing four runs on 10 hits while striking out five and walking none over 4.1 innings.

Singer unraveled in the fourth inning, surrendering six consecutive hits before recording an out as San Diego pushed across four runs. The 10 hits matched a season high for the right-hander, who has now allowed at least three runs in eight consecutive starts. Across 27 starts this season, Singer owns a 4.83 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 117:45 K:BB over 141.2 innings. He's slated to face the Brewers on Sunday.

King (9-9) earned the win Monday against the Reds, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

King received plenty of support from San Diego's lineup with a four-run fourth inning and cruised to his second straight scoreless outing, giving him 13 consecutive shutout frames. The right-hander has completed at least six innings in nine of his last 11 starts, lowering his ERA from 3.55 to 3.11 during that stretch. King also owns a 1.17 WHIP with 141 strikeouts across 162 innings this season. He's lined up to face his former team, the Yankees, in his next start.

Senga struck out one and walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Monday against the Rays to secure his fifth save of the season.

Senga entered with a one-run lead and worked around a leadoff walk to Jonny DeLuca to preserve the victory. The right-hander has been sharp throughout August, collecting all five of his saves while allowing just two runs across 10.1 innings with a 12:5 K:BB. Senga should continue to serve as the Mets' primary ninth-inning option until Devin Williams (shoulder) returns.

Pratt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 17-3 loss to the Cubs.

Pratt launched a two-run homer over the left-field fence in the seventh inning, though it had little impact on the result as the Cubs cruised to a blowout victory. It marked the shortstop's first homer since July 25. Through 187 plate appearances, the 22-year-old rookie is slashing .270/.339/.371 with three homers, 22 RBI, 25 runs and 12 stolen bases.

Conforto went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run in Monday's 17-3 win over Milwaukee.

With position player Andrew Vaughn pitching, Conforto came off the bench and crushed a three-run homer in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old's playing time is somewhat sporadic, but he's brought some juice with three homers over his past seven contests. Overall, Conforto is hitting .235/.325/.479 with 13 homers, 37 RBI, 29 runs and a stolen base in 246 plate appearances.

Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.

Hoerner contributed early in the blowout win, launching a solo homer to left field in the first inning. It marked the 29-year-old's first long ball since Aug. 4, as he slashed .287/.309/.333 with eight RBI, seven runs and five stolen bases during the 22-game homer drought. On the year, Hoerner is hitting .263/.319/.362 with eight homers, 62 RBI, 55 runs and 22 stolen bases across 135 contests.

Stock (1-3) earned the win Monday against the Rays, allowing five hits while striking out four over 5.1 scoreless innings.

Stock kept Tampa Bay off the board into the sixth inning en route to his first MLB win since 2019. The 5.1-inning effort marked the deepest start of his major-league career and represented a major bounce-back after he surrendered seven runs to Milwaukee in his previous outing. Across six starts for the Mets this season, Stock owns a 5.88 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB over 26 innings. He's slated to make his next start Monday against the Marlins.

Harrison (10-4) took the loss Monday, allowing nine runs on 10 hits and two walks over 3.2 innings against the Cubs. He struck out three.

Harrison was thrashed from the get-go, giving up a pair of homers in a four-run first inning and ultimately surrendering five long balls in the disastrous outing. The southpaw will close August with a 5.01 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 23.1 innings (five starts). With an overall 3.45 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 130:29 K:BB over 107 innings (22 starts), Harrison will look to get back on track next time out, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Reds.
